Isuzu's 2012 Crosswind Special Edition makes Palawan more fun

*Gumusut_Amige: I laughed at your story. Maybe they are just fixated with that brand/model. If you will look at it, if you have the resources to buy a vehicle that costs more than 1M, it's highly probable that you can read, comprehend and compare. So when you go to a dealer or different dealers and they hand you a brochure, you would see and perhaps understand the figures or the basic specs of the vehicle/s. And when you look at the Crosswind's figures, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that its specs are very outdated for its year. So either you really love the Crosswind or you just don't like, afraid or not yet ready to try other car makes.

Di rin.

Some don't even bother to read the brochures. They rely on hearsay -- matibay crosswind, tatagal sayo 'to, sulit na sulit .. etcetera etcetera

To tell you the truth bro I myself never read the brochures about the unit I bought. even if I read it I would not even know the difference between the CRDI & Non-CRDI engines. I was educated on this when I read these FORUMS which really helped me understand their difference. I relied on what some of my friends said about the unit...

Believeit or not nung nilagay ko sa internet for sale yung03 ko na XUVI, dagsa ang tawag at inquiry...pinresyuhan ko ng 450k nego..alangya 175,000 ang milyahe...sige parin ang mga tawag....nung may ready to pay na sa 420k, pero ako ayaw ko pa ibigay nagsusuplado pako, may humihirit pa na tataasan ang 420k mapunta lang sa kanya...ala bidding baga...iisa lang sinasabi ng mga buyer, matibay daw kasi at matipid sa krudo....yan ang importante sa mas nakararaming pinoy...kahit 175k ang tinakbo, nagbibinata palang daw yan sa isuzu..low mileage ika nga..haha

Yung mga airbag air bag na yan, crdi ek ek, ride comfort, safety safety,wala yan..pang konyotic langyan...

[OTEP]

My job includes pulling people out of wrecked cars. The difference between a vehicle engineered to safely dissipate crash forces and one that hasnt been given much thought is pretty apparent at times. I don't think safety is konyotic. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Safe cars wont guarantee survival but it can tip the odds in your favor. And not only in terms of survival but survival without permanent or debilitating damage.

^ nice. oo nga naman. aanhin mo ang natipid kung hindi naman safe. you can't buy life

[oliver1013]

I agree on safety..but i think the crosswind puzzle on why people still buy it is because of culture or nakasanayan of pinoys....ang typical na pinoy sanay makakita ng jeep na may gulay at prutas at tao sa bubong, o owner na 10 ang laman kasama ang alagang aso at pusa. Jeep na puno sa loob pati sa sabitan sa labas may naka angkla..yan mga yan pag may napag tapos sa kolehiyo at nag trabaho sa abroad at nakaipon...bibili ng sasakyan ang unang konsiderasyon matipid at matibay na kayang ayusin ng kahit sino mang marunong humawak ng screw driver...

Kami rin nung kinuha namin dati yung unit namin ang hanap namin 3rd car option na low maintenance, matibay at matipid and no nonsense na replacement ng vanette at revo namin noon, yung driver namin nag suggest,kuya mag isuzu na tayo para di na lagi sa casa ang ayusan tsaka matibay ang makina at pangilalim...after all these years and all those mileage...totoo nga..the legend is true. At 175,000 km naguunahan pa ang buyers ang taas pa ng bentahan...

Yung safety although very important, most pinoys will only shrug it off and say, mag ingat nalang sa daan, or sasabihin may kakilala ako mamahalin ang sasakyan naaksidente patay din...typical pilosospong pinoy....

[OTEP]

I wouldn't mind the Crosswind up to the XT trim level but anything above it is purely overpriced IMHO. Considering how dated the technology is. Isuzu seems to have a field day riding on their brand and reputation instead of investing in good 'ol research and development..

you have a point. kumbaga just finding a car that will tranport you from a to b. kaya siguro mataas pa rin ang demand. but as sir otep said, yung higher variant ang over price at ewan ko ba't ang dami pa rin bumibili. yung counter part nila na adventure, wala pang 1M ang TOTL. eto kasing presyo na ang montero.

[holdencaulfield]

crosswind ko blowby na ata sumusuka na ng langis. puwera biro pag tinirik ako nito iiwan ko na lang sa daan. kaya lang mag 2 years na siyang ganito at hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na siyang byumahe ng probinsya pa norte o south luzon.
ano ba yan, masira ka naman! hehe
joke lang maya itirik ako sa liblib.

[OTEP]

Hehe. Ganyan din 4d56 mitsu namin dati, langis na laman ng radiator. Pero tumatakbo pa din. Naka graduate naman ako ng college ng umaandar pa siya. Nung makuha ng new owner, boom, sumabog makina. Haha

[raphnext21]

kahit anu pah man sabihin natin, buyer's choice no matter how we explain pag nagustuhan ng buyer bibilhin at bibilhin nyah yun..
my notes bakit gusto pa rin nila crosswind yes in fact the price too much and safety features lacks
1. Ang gobyerno din may problem dapat mag issue sila na standard na sa Philippines ang airbags or other safety features.
2. Kasi yung tatak isuzu which is commonly nakikita sa mga heavy duty equipment truck etc., which make an impression sa mga buyers kasing tibay ng mga truck to. Which is then true....
3. Low maintenance compared sa ibang sasakyan maybe lacks a power but sinu ba naman driver nasa family car at kasama ang family mo na paliliparin mo ang auv ng more than 130kph sa existing road not unless on express way kayo. One thing sa baha even lumubog crosswind pag inayos sa kasa yan kayang kaya. eh yung mga high end na suv masisira computer box which is napaka mahal on may opinion also malakas sa battery.
4. Still comes which car you want average family use or long journey crosswind, but then again super yaman kah go for range rover the best suv compared poh sa mga fortuner at montero

hehehehehe

Actually, a lot of prospective buyers do read our forums to make informed choices and we are just here to help them.

Granting that Isuzu can price their products in the stratosphere because of their brand power, unbiased and real world reviews do help those that are in the car buying process.
